To LynneC114: You'll see exactly why Kagome doesn't remember him in this chapter.
To The Evil Liar: Inuyasha was sixteen, and Kagome was thirteen.
To Month: About your suggestion.. well.. I know what your saying. I've noticed that I do that I do indeed focus mainly on Inuyasha and Kagome.. 'cause.. well, thats just who I write best, lol. I guess in my future stories I'll try and focus more on the other main characters. And about HalfDemon Preps and PunkRock Mikos.. omg, that story was -terrible-, lol. So so terrible. It has stupid formatting, stupid plot, went way to fast, etc. Gosh, I was thinking about deleting it until I saw how many reviews it had.. O.o
To my 800th reviewer, kya: It worked! You were my 800th! -hands plushie and candy- Thank you ever for reviewing.. just 200 more reviews.. thats all I'm askin'! I'll have 1000! It'll be a new thing for me! You don't know how happy I'm gonna' be.. you have no idea..!
To fantasydreamer74 and Rachel Evelyn Perkins: Joined! Thanks for hating preps along with the rest of us. :D
To a certain special someone (they know who they are): Yes. The pink ribbon I have -is- indeed the one I refer to in this story. And now you know how I got the pink ribbon in the first place.. I told you it was my goodluck charm for a reason! Sorry for keeping a secret from you for sooo long.. heh. Just don't kill me when we go back to school.. 'kay? 'Kay. O.o;;
Anyhow, on with the story.
..wait. P.S., Please read my author's note at the end of this
chapter. Thanks.

"Well.. you know that we were adopted, and then they took us back to
Japan. Correct?" He nodded once again. "..you see.. you met a little girl
here before we moved to Europe.."
Inuyasha nodded, "So what? I met a girl. Big deal." Sesshomaru continued
hesitantly, "..named Kagome."
His heart stopped.
"..Kagome, the Kagome you know today."
Something was going on.
"We left her. As soon as we got to Europe, you began having.. problems."
Problems?
"..Inuyasha, you.. your memories.."
Memories?
"You had them erased of her because you were in so much pain."
E..rased?

Hell's Angel
Take Eighteen
Why?
Why did you break my heart and say your good-bye?
Why did you break my heart and leave me with tears in my eyes?
How could you say you loved me when all your words weren't true?
Well, let me say you really fooled me, my heart just didn't see
it coming.
I still can see the pictures on the wall of you and I when I walk
through the hall.
How can I forget the happy times when I thought we were both in
love?
I still can hear your voice when you would say to me you'd never
leave me.
How I believed you.. my eyes were just too blind to see.

"W-what..?"
"You had your memories erased of her, Inuyasha." Now that's something
he had been wanting to get off his chest for awhile.
"Why..?" What was going on? There was no way this could be happening..
could that flashback from before been.. Kagome? Was he about to say he
loved Kagome in that one flashback? Wait, this didn't make sense. "Wait
a minute." He interrupted. "There's no way that could be true."
"Oh and why not?" Sesshomaru said, going along with his little game.
"Because she would remember me, of course!" Inuyasha said, "No one could
ever forget good ol' Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru sighed, "She could if she took a drug. And she could have
if you dyed your hair, lengthened it, and then became a whole new person."
He countered.
Huh?
"Inuyasha, the night before we left.." He sighed, "I slipped a pill
in a drink she had. The doctor had given it to me, the same one you went
to when we got in Europe." Inuyasha couldn't believe this was happening,
"It enables the person to forget one thing about the person they love the
most.. their name."
This was too crazy to be true. How could someone do that with a pill?
This isn't real. It can't be real. "Kagome doesn't know the boy's name
that she met long ago, Inuyasha. Which is you." Inuyasha shook his head
in denial.
"That's why, I gave you the idea of dying your hair, of making it longer,
and changing your personality. So, if you ever ran into her again.. this
wouldn't happen. But.. when I started hearing that stuff on the news, and
you standing RIGHT next to her.. it had to be done. I had to tell you the
truth." He held out that wooden box in front of Inuyasha.
"In here.. lies your old diaries, and a ribbon." 'A ribbon?'
"A pink ribbon." He opened the diaries and put them on Inuyasha's lap,
and held up the pink delicate ribbon. "This ribbon.. you had given her
before you left. You told her never to loose it." He put the ribbon closer
to Inuyasha, but not touching.
"You see.. she wanted for you two to have some link. So.." He pointed
to the tattered end of the ribbon, "She ripped it here, and she has a piece."
He still didn't let him touch it though. Inuyasha noticed this. "Let me
see it.."
"First, I need to tell you the importance of this ribbon.." Sesshomaru
held it up to the moonlight, "You see, the doctor didn't erase your memories
fully. They would be restored if you touched the object that meant the
most to you.." He pointed to the ribbon, "..which is this."
Inuyasha looked at the ribbon with curiosity, "Hold on. How come I had
those flashbacks then?"
"Because you were close to her. Subconsciously.. you always knew who
she was."
Inuyasha put his hand out hesitantly to reach for the ribbon, "Are you
sure.. you want to do this? Should I explain some more?" Inuyasha put his
hand back down and nodded. "Why.. why did I want to get rid of her out
of my memory so much?"
"Because you loved her.. you missed her.. and you couldn't live without
her. You were going to kill yourself." Inuyasha cringed at himself for
the thought of him being that weak over a worthless wench. "Then.. our
step-father.. knew of a doctor who could cure it.. we took you there and.."
---
"Inuyasha.. my step-son.. is having problems." The step-father ended,
after telling the doctor all of Inuyasha's problems.
"I see.. I see.. love." The doctor opened up a drawer and took out
a key. He walked up to a safe and unlocked it; it was full of medicines.
He picked up the smallest bottle and held it out to the step-father. "Bring
Inuyasha in."
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked in, Inuyasha looking as lifeless as
anything. "Doctor.." He said, monotone.
Inuyasha sat in the chair he was instructed to, and had a metal looking
helmet placed over his head. "This is going to hurt. A lot. Are you ready
for the pain?"
Inuyasha nodded. Anything to get him fixed of this problem. The doctor
nodded back and dripped the bottle's liquid into Inuyasha's mouth, making
him paralyzed in place. "What I'm doing is blocking the part of his brain;
his memories of Kagome; from reaching his senses. This is not permanate,
like you requested." Lasers beamed through the helmet and Inuyasha cringed
and let out a couple tears of pain.
"Only if there is a strong enough force, will the blocking wall cease
to exist." The doctor continued, "Which.. is the object that connects them
both." Sesshomaru and their step-father nodded, hearing the painful cries
of Inuyasha.
"Lets hope.. they one day meet again."
Inuyasha let out one last scream as the lasers died down, and his
eyes closed. He pictured Kagome in his mind once more before he would forget
it all and let out a pathetic whisper, "Kagome.."
He passed out and they took him into the recovery room.
---
"...and that's what happened." Sesshomaru concluded, sighing.
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. There was no way a human
was capable of that.. was there? He looked over to the ribbon, it was just
begging to be touched. Sesshomaru got up and untied Inuyasha, but he still
sat there lifelessly. "And Kagome.. she has no idea about this.. about
me.. about.. anything?"
Sesshomaru nodded his head no. "All she remembers were the times that
you had together.. not your name, or what happened to you. I sent her a
text message earlier today.. saying you were definitely back in Japan and
different things.." Inuyasha nodded.
"Sesshomaru.. the ribbon." Sesshomaru placed the ribbon on his lap,
and Inuyasha hesitantly gripped it in his hand.. nothing happened for the
first couple of seconds, then it all came rushing back to him. The orphanage.
He saved her life. He kissed her. He said he loved her. He gave her a golden
locket on her birthday. He left her.. with half of the ribbon..
"So this is what its like.. to really love something." He said, in amazement.
It began to rain and thunder; the lightning struck meters away from their
house. "I'm not going to tell her."
Sesshomaru was surprised at that comment. "Why?" He asked.
"Its better off for her to realize it on her own.." He got up and brushed
himself off. Then he did something he never ever thought he would do.
"Thank you." He
thanked his brother.

AN: Now we know what happens. But Kagome is still left out in the dark -- and tomorrow is the race! So many problems, so little time. Please review, I want to get to 1000 before it ends! It would be soooo.. cool, hehe!
Alright, I've been thinking about my next story.. and I'm having trouble choosing. So the one little summary in my profile for the so-called next story may not be the next, or it may be. Its going to either be that one or another one thats been running around in my head.. oh bah, I'm going to you guys for help, lol. Without giving away the summary/plots for the stories, I'll ask. Would you guys rather have a:
1. Romance/Comedy; Light-hearted, a little drama, basically a fluffy kinda' story. Happy ending (as usual).
OR
2. Romance/Drama/Angst; Light at first, turns darker as the story progresses, lots of drama, and the end -will- be angsty. (I.E. Not a happy ending).
Please vote and tell me your opinions, I really need your help. Thanks.
